Enter the enchanting world of the Carpathians, where dark adventure, mystery, and love await, and where the desires of two daring hearts unite in one irresistible passion.

A telepathic hunter of serial killers, Raven Whitney helps catch some of the most depraved criminals. But her work keeps her from getting close to others and has drained her body and spirit. In need of rest and rejuvenation, she embarks on a vacation far from home.

Mikhail Dubrinsky is the prince of the Carpathians, the powerful leader of a wise and secret ancient race that thrives in the night. Engulfed by despair, fearful of never finding the mate who can save him from the encroaching darkness, his soul cries out in loneliness—until the day a beautiful voice full of light and love responds, softly soothing his pain and yearning.

From the moment they meet, Raven and Mikhail are helpless to resist the desire that sparks between them. But just as fate unexpectedly brings these life mates together, malevolent forces threaten to destroy them and their fragile love. Yet even if they survive, how can these two lovers—Carpathian and human—build a future together? And how can Mikhail bring Raven into his dark world without extinguishing her beautiful goodness and light?

With an additional 100 pages of new material, Christine Feehan’s magnificent tale of forbidden love mesmerizes as never before. Experience Dark Prince as it was always meant to be!

Listener Opinions

by Alana Hayden | 2/6/2014

" I liked the book but got fed up with all the mushy feelings - The plot seemed to get lost slightly due to the amount of time spent discovering feelings for each other,but i shall read the next in the series-hope fully it will be better "

" Not big on the Carpathian/vampire subject but it wasn't overly done just more of a love story. "

Serena Zane | 12/18/2013

" I love paranormal novels, and this book was a wonderful read full of suspense and intrigue. The dark, almost obsession-like love of the characters captures your attention and makes you want to read more. Great book. "

Kelly | 11/28/2013

" Looking for a sexy vampire series. This may be it. Need to read the next one, but I did enjoy this one. A little different from your 'average blood-sucking vampire'. "

Susan Gagnier | 11/15/2013

" I tried and tried to read this so many times, I would go a chapter then stop go a chapter and stop, just not happening for me, I normally push through something I am not finding great BUT I give up and am movingon "

Shawna Wathen | 7/2/2013

" Not sure about this series. Started this book on the recommendation of a friend and not sure I loved it the same way she did. May try book 2- but not completely committed at the present. "

Ruth | 1/22/2013

" Love this authors paranormal romances and am trying to get into this vampire series that my daughter loves. Took me a bit to get into it, but the idea of a human and vampire falling is love is much older than Twilight! LOL! "

Heather Tisdale | 1/4/2013

" It was okay. If there had been more to the plot and less ravishing it would have potential. I liked one of the Carpathian stories I had read before so I'll keep trying the series to see if they get any better. "

stella yip | 12/13/2012

" well, this book is good, but not one of my best liking. "

Shelley | 11/24/2012

" This was a really dirty one! I liked it but it was almost overkill. I still want to read the next in the series though. :) "

Taria Reed | 11/21/2012

" Nothing pisses me off more than a stupid ass heroine. Stupidity does not equal bravery. But, the narrator did a good job. "

Mary Catherine | 11/19/2012

" Sometimes you want to strangle the males in this series, but they really are good books. "

Rochelle | 12/23/2011

" I'm enjoying this series as Christine Feehan is a very powerful writer. She creates an impressive new world, and keeps the reader interested in what will happen next. "

A Voracious Reader (a.k.a. Carol) | 11/5/2011

" This release with 100 more pages didn't seem much different than the one I read a few years ago. As much as I enjoyed the book, I'm glad this series got better as it went along. "

" I could not put the book down. I really enjoyed the book , looking for more in the sires and more of her books
"

Kathy | 6/14/2011

" A pretty good book. I started reading these around the time Dark Legend came out so my sense of series context may not be as strong as others. I enjoyed it.
"

Mel | 6/14/2011

" Was okay - but I didn't really like Raven. Something about her bothered me and I'm glad that I didn't read this book first or I may not have continued with the series.
"

Ivy | 6/12/2011

" Is was good book but a lot of twist and turns. Just when you thought they were ending on a happy note the assassins kept disrupting everything. And Raven kept getting hurt or killed (sort of). Looking forward to reading the next.
"

Sarah | 6/8/2011

" This book was probably 3-1/2 stars. I just felt like it was too long. Raven was much too quick to accept Mikhail. I will most likely continue the series, but hopefully they are shorter and the lovers take a bit more time before acknowledging their everlasting love...
"

Joy | 6/6/2011

" I love this book, I mean the story behind it is not only passionate but spell binding it traps you into another world but still in the mondern one of today with traditions and morals I love it! As always christine feehan is a fantastic writer! xxx
"

momokaachan | 6/6/2011

" I read the original book a few years ago and liked it very much. This version - took the premise the expanded it. Laid the foundation to the rest of the series.
